THE COUNTRY SCHOOL ANDTHE FARMERS BOY.

The country school is prominently the
farmers school. In it the great majority
of the farmers of to-day received their ed
ucation, and in it the great majority of
those of the next generation will receive
the whole of their schooling.
Is the country school doing what it
should for the farmers boy? Is it giving
to the boy, who will remain on the farm,
that kind of an education which will be
the best preparation for life's work.?
WHAT'S an education for? Why should
a boy spend so much time in the school,
room? The purpose of a boys education
is to fit him for his work, whatever that
may be. The education given in a coun-
try school ought then to fit the boy to be a
successful farmer, for that is to be the pro-
fession of most country school-boys.
What education does the farmers pro-
fession demand? The ability to read,
write, and understand the English Ian
guage and to make readily all the ordina-
ry numerical calculations connected with
his business-this is all, some say, that a
farmer needs, and this is practically all
that many of the schools supply. But is
this enough? Shall we set the standard of
education for the farmer at the very lowest
notch? Shall we in this way say that the
poorest education is sufficient for the farm
err? We certainly do not think that farm
ing is the occupation for which the poorest
education is sufficient. Give the boy op-
portunity to become acquainted with the
things FOUND him. Put the study of soils,
plants, animals, etc., into your schools.
Ask your school teachers to give instruc-
ton of this kind. Demand Of them that
they know enough to give such instruction
in the right way. If you will demand
only the best of teachers for your children,
you can have these taught to them, but if
you are willing to take, year by year, the
young and poorly prepared teachers, the
work will not and cannot be done. You
will have to pay roundly for such efficient
teachers; but will it not be the best econ
omy in the long run, for are they not to in
struct your children for their whole life's
work ?-American AgricuH,uTst.
